This class provides training in clinical intervention methods based on various neurophysiological measures such as electrical and magnetic transcranial stimulation (tDCS, TMS), evoked potentials and neurofeedback. This classes further trains the student in cognitive and language assessment protocols used in the context of awake neurosurgical interventions or in severly brain injured patients (coma). The course will also familiarize the student with the integration of functional and structural neuroimaging data into the assessment and interpretation of cognitive and affective disorders.
